Onoff Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 M&Ds bungalow. They had the upstairs dormer roof redone a while back but the Artexed ceiling inside had some old leak damage around the chimney stack that goes up through it. Brother has had a guy in who's quoted to remove the coving, board straight over the existing ceiling, re cove and paint. Area to be boarded is 2.3 X 6.9m. He's quoted £1750. Biggest issue I can see is you won't get 8'x4' sheets up the stairs and into the room. We have of course to clear everything out. Does that seem reasonable?
